Source code analysis with code review
With code review, you can create configurations of coding rules for EGL source code. You can then run the configurations to check the source code for consistency with the rules.
Doing basic tasks with the software analysis configuration window
You can open the software analysis configuration window and switch modes.

EGL Code Accelerator for IBD
Developing
- Model driven development of EGL code
- Generating source code from UML models
  You can use transformations to create source code from a UML model. First you must create a transformation parameters file and then apply those parameters to a model.
- Generating the EGL Dependency Graph from EGL projects
- Generating Source Code from OpenAPI Documents
- Developing EGL applications
  Enterprise Generation Language (EGL) is a programming language that you can use to focus on business problems instead of software technologies. Within the Rational® development environment, you can use EGL wizards and other tools to write complex applications with minimal effort.
- Source code analysis with code review
  With code review, you can create configurations of coding rules for EGL source code. You can then run the configurations to check the source code for consistency with the rules.
  - Overview of software analysis
    In a software analysis, a configurable set of coding rules is applied to a specified group of source code files. Results are generated that identify lines of source code that violate a rule.
  - Supported features
    The code review component includes features for creating and enforcing coding rules for EGL in the Linux™ and Windows™ environments.
  - Installing the code review component
    Install the code review component with the IBM® Installation Manager.
  - Doing basic tasks with the software analysis configuration window
    You can open the software analysis configuration window and switch modes.
    - Changing the window mode
      You can change the window mode.
    - Opening the window
  - Creating a software analysis configuration
    Create a software analysis configuration to define coding rules and to specify source code files to be checked.
  - Running a code review
    A code review can be started from the workbench toolbar, the software analysis configuration window, the project explorer view, or the navigator view. The method of starting the code review can override the scope that is defined in the software analysis configuration.
  - Viewing results
    After you run a code review, you can view the results that are generated.
  - Fixing a problem reported in a result
    You can modify a source code file to fix a problem that is detected by code review.
  - Custom categories and rules
    A custom rule is a built-in rule for which you specify one or more parameters that affect the behavior of the rule. A custom category is a folder for storing custom rules.
  - Creating user-written rules
    User-written rules are implemented by Java™ classes that call EGL code analysis APIs.
- Responsive Design Support in IBD
  What is Responsive Design? Responsive design is an approach for creation of web pages that automatically scales its content and elements to match the screen size on which it is viewed. So, instead of designing multiple websites for different devices with variable screen sizes, we can design just one website that scales up or down automatically, to match the device it’s being viewed on.

Changing the window mode

You can change the window mode.

About this task

Software analysis configuration window mode is available with Scope and Rule tabs. The window opens in the software analysis configuration mode.

Procedure

Switch modes by clicking an item in the left pane of the window.

To work on software analysis configurations, click Software Analyzer or a software analysis configuration below it.

Results

The window changes to the selected mode.
